“Johnson was one of the most NFL-ready prospects from a route-running and release perspective. Despite middling physical tools, he finished top-10 nationally in yards per route run in each of the past two seasons because of his ability to get off the line and run routes at a high level. That skill set translates well to the slot, where Johnson spent 661 of his 817 snaps last season. It also translates well to the routes Tom Brady loves to throw.”

Johnson is super talented, and the fact that he ended up in Tampa Bay is a win-win for both him and the Bucs. For Johnson, he gets to learn from Evans and Godwin, while perfecting his game working with Brady. For the Bucs, they can bring Johnson along slowly given the depth they have at the receiver position. But, I have feeling Bruce Arians and Jason Licht didn’t draft Johnson to just sit around and watch. He’ll get his opportunities next season, and it sounds like he’ll turn a few heads when he does.

Over his 20-year career, Brady has passed for 33 or more touchdowns six times, most recently...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers picked up two running backs in April's NFL draft in Ke'Shawn Vaughn (third round) and Raymond Calais (seventh round) to help bolster a backfield that lost Peyton Barber this offseason in free agency.

Vaughn and Calais will be joining incumbent starter Ronald Jones, who finished his 2019 sophomore campaign with 724 rushing yards to go along with six touchdowns. But the Bucs could definitely use an experienced veteran back to help their offense and new quarterback Tom Brady, and one name that keeps coming up is former Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman.

The coronavirus pandemic has interrupted sports leagues around the world, and if and when the NFL kicks off its 2020 season, one of the proposed ideas to ensure public safety is playing games in empty stadiums. While that might not be the ideal situation for either the league or its fans, it's an option that's on the table at this point.
